    Clearly you are the one who is not comprehending the other. You are holding character development up as the end all be all in terms of importance in a narrative. I disagree.

    Proof of this is the fact that a really small scope is bad if it's not supplemented by other creative expressions which make up for the lack of scope. I mean, it should be obvious, large scope and nuanced character development detract from each other, yet both are positive things.

    So if you say "despite the scope being really huge, I still think the character development is lacking", then fine, we can have that conversation. But just comparing the character development in this show to a show with a smaller scope is absurd.



    Oh, and your Jaquen comments are just fanboy drivel. He almost certainly benefits more from being cloaked in mystery than he would from being revealed in his entirety. He is Boba Fett. Sure when I was a kid, I grabbed a couple issues of the Boba Fett comic when I saw it in the comic book store-- you know what? It sucked. That's not to say that more Jaquen would suck.. it could be handled well.. but my point is, cameo rolls are fine, and sometimes the fact that it is a cameo roll plays into the character being so awesome.

    No I'm not. It is the most important aspect of any story, but not the only one.

    There is a significant difference between the kinds of characters Fett and Jaqen are. Fett fulfilled his purposes, Jaqen introduced purposes
